What supports the theory that plants evolved from multicellular green algae?

How do plants get there green color from what chemical?
Plant leaves contain chlorophyll in its chloroplasts in mesophyll cells which make plant leaves green. Chlorophyll helps in photosynthesis by absorbing solar radiation for photolysis of water molecules.

What is a pigment that traps uv radiation?
